Hi, my company is forcing me to sign an agreement that states that I cant give interview at any other company till the end of my 3 years bond period. And it also states that if my client asks me to join them permanently then I will have to reject the offer. Is it illegal?. Please help me out as I have to sign it

Such clauses are not enforceable in law. You cannot be restrained from working.

But you cannot poach a client.

Sign it. Still not enforceable.
If you’re being forced to do so – sign and put without prejudice all rights reserved next to your sign.

If a contractual clause is against the law, it doesn’t matter if both parties signed it. The court will still not enforce it.

This is just an advice from whatever you’ve stated. I don’t know what your exact terms of the bond are and whether the company is investing in your upskilling in the three years you’ll be there or less.

Ok thank you so much.
What I was thinking to say to them is that “When I was joining here, I agreed to your certain terms and conditions but now u r changing them , I didn’t agree to this. If you keep changing conditions every other day , how will I sign them”
